Well, your husband and his family are all Muslim. And you want to know if they would be offended if you ate pork. I surely hope this is just a very bad attempt at a stupid joke. There is no way you could be this clueless. Did you not discuss religion and cultural issues before you were married? That probably would have been an intelligent thing to do. I would imagine that the answer to your question would be yes, considering the fact that Muslim see the pig/swine/pork as unclean. Good luck and God bless****

Out of respect for your husband's family, you should keep the pork dishes seperate (even prepare them seperately) from the regular dishes. If you can substitue it with something else, great but if not then it shouldn't offend them as long as they are not eating it or they are not being forced by your family to try it.
I'm guessing your husband and his family are liberal enough so you shouldn't have a problem.

They should not be offended they know you eat pork
so what is the big deal as long as you don't offer it to them
My husband and I are both Muslim who have friends that are not ,when we go over for dinner they eat pork and they make something else for us.This really depends on the family.You should ask your husband he might give you the best answer.

Personally I wouldn't do it regardless of where we were dining. To me that would seem inconisderate and considering that they are your in-laws, a touchy relationship at best, refraining from eating pork in their presence would be a sign of respect which I'm sure they would appreciate.

would it really hurt if your family just ate something that everyone could eat and just skip the pork for one night???

Would your husband be eating pork too? May be you should ask him about the right thing to do.

My assumption is that you are in the United States of America. If this assumption is correct then it is nobodies business about what you eat. The real question is, do the Muslims think in terms of political correctness when they do some of their archaic traditions in America.

I think if they are devout - ask your husband. If you have any doubt at all, don't serve pork.

Who cares. Freedom of speech. It's not like your in the middle east and they're going to blow you up for that. Unless, I could be wrong, but I hope not. Yikes.
